The loved-up pair have reportedly snubbed Royal aides to plan a “white and classic” dream wedding “reflective of their personalities and tastes”.

Harry and wife-to-be Meghan want a British-themed wedding with some LA inspiration on the menu, sources say.

They have drafted in their own team of wedding planners for the big day and have brought in an outside team of caterers.
